Great location! Steps away from all the charm and quirkiness that is Bayview. We had a beautiful room with a very comfy bed and a lovely bathroom. My husband and I enjoyed our stay here and had a delicious dinner at the restaurant downstairs (Sorella) on their patio. Would definitely recommend and come back again. (One small note- the walls are thin and you can hear people in the hallways and communal kitchen. So just make sure to pack some ear plugs)

This was the first time out family had the oppertunity to stay at a "Guest House", and we could not be more pleased with our stay. We loved this space and the amenidies. Our famlily loved the seperate stand alone entrance to our loft , this allowed us to come and go and not interfer with the restaurant guests. The kitchen and room setup was amazing. The room had exposed brick and high celings and was perfect for a family of 4. We utlized the scooters to get to numerous places in Bay View and Lake Michigan beaches. We could park the scooters on the curb outside the building and that was very convienent for us to come and go and have a scooter available The Sorella Restaurant that shares the building is amazing , we had a neapolitan pizza" and 2 pasta dishes and it was supurb and a fast easy for guests to have a great meal and not have to leave. This will be the only place that we will stay when we come back to Milwaukee in a few years. Thanks again for providing a wonderfull guest expirence.

Super convenient location and the property was really nice. Great little common area with good amenities. Would be great for a longer stay. It’s an old building so bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper because the walls are pretty thin. Overall we enjoyed it and would stay again.

Kinn Guesthouses are a great place to stay if you don’t mind no front desk and coded entries. We’ve found them to have large rooms which are tastefully decorated, comfortable and quiet. The common area is stocked with teas, coffee and breakfast cereals which you can use. Be sure to contact property directly before you arrive for entry code. Expedia apparently does not share contact information with Kinn so you can access the room. Therefore they have no way to send you this information This can result in check-in delay until you find a person affiliated with Kinn to update you with this info.

The room was clean and spacious! A couple fixes and minor upgrades I would suggest are: Fix the handheld shower attachment, it wouldn’t stay positioned and would just sit in the holder pointed up resting against the wall. The TV was really small for the space and the distance from the bed. A 65-75 inch TV would be great for this room and that huge brick wall. Add more bed pillows as the bed didn’t have a headboard which left a large gap between the mattress and the wall. We had to use the pillows from the day bed to “plug” the gap so the bed pillows wouldn’t fall into that space behind the mattress. A charging station for phones would have been nice on the bedside table. Stocking the fridge with some water bottles and soda would be great, or giving the guest the option of “adding” that to their room reservation for a fee. Maybe even offering to stock the fridge with other items for a fee as well (groceries, drinks, beer, etc) Having access to an ice machine or installing an ice maker in the kitchen would be nice. Make available either room service or a phone # to the restaurant in the building for easy food/drink ordering. Lastly and surely the least, the blinds weren’t quite wide enough for those huge windows, so the morning sun just bounced off the sides of the window frame and lit up the whole room, perhaps add some drapes to the windows to block those small gaps on each side of the window blind. complete light block is needed after a big MKE night HAHA

Overall, great experience. I like the concept of a rental that is a combination of a hotel and an airbnb. Everything was clean and the community kitchen is a great idea! Close to a lot of restaurants and coffee shops. My only issue is that there were no parking spaces in the back and the listing specifically says there is parking in the back, which is inaccurate. When we arrived, all the spots were taken and the street sign had parking restrictions. I had to find someone at the restaurant to help me out with this. Being from Chicago, parking does give me a bit of anxiety. Had I known all along that street parking is okay (even though there are restrictions), I would have felt better. I was able to park on the street overnight and had no issues, but when we arrived, the street parking was limited because of the restaurant customers.

One of the BEST hotels we have stayed at! Literally kept comparing it to our favorite on the amalfi coast! The room was clean and so spacious, insane light and the common space was amazing for coffee and breakfast. Would be great for a family trip with the rooms and the common space. An added bonus was having an amazing restaurant below! Overall so easy to navigate, safe parking, so walkable and just a great stay. We will be back!
